The Mouse class provides mouse related events, methods and, properties which provide information regarding the state of the mouse.

Each event that Mouse defines as an attached event is also re-exposed by the base element classes UIElement and ContentElement as a new routed event. Generally, it is more convenient to handle mouse events for an application on UIElement and ContentElement, rather than using the Mouse events. For details, see Input Overview.

The static members of the Mouse class delegate to the primary MouseDevice of the calling thread's input manager.
